Aoife is the best FEMALE character in casualty so far! (Lenny, Jeff and Charlie are the best men) So, here is a little story about her! Thanks if you read it Dudes! xxx
Aoife O'Reilly knocked her alarm clock off her bedside table and fell back asleep. Five minutes later, her phone rang, waking her once again.
She sighed and pressed the ignore button on her mobile and went back to sleep. It was probably only Robyn again anyway.
Meanwhile, at Robyn Miller's house, Robyn was sitting at the breakfast table with her phone in her hand. Jamie and her were having a texting argument over whether Aoife would be late or not.
Then again, Aoife was always late for everything.
Robyn had tried to call her so that she would win the bet (twenty pounds at stake!) but so far it had only gone to answer phone.
'Oh well, it was worth a shot.' Robyn thought as she got up and walked out of her house and down the road to the bus station.
As she got off the bus, she met Jamie Collier down by the corner shop buying a bar of chocolate. No surprises there either. "I guess you owe me twenty quid then." Jamie told her, laughing slightly.
Robyn gave him a dirty look before saying "She could still turn up or already be at the ED." Robyn doubted this, but she did not have twenty pounds spare at this moment in time.
"Get real." Jamie told her "But, I suppose that we could get going and see if she is there."
Robyn smiled and playfully shoved him, "Come on then!" She told him walking down the road without him. Jamie shook his head and followed her to the hospital.
At the ED,
"Are they here yet?" Zoe asked Charlie who just happened to be passing the reception desk.
"Who's supposed to be here?" He asked her.
"Jamie, Robyn and Aoife. None of them have turned up for work yet."
"Not surprised by that, Aoife is always late, but have you tried to call Robyn or Jamie? I mean, they could be stuck in traffic or ill."
"Good point Charlie." Zoe told him before running over to Noel to ask him to make a phone call.
Charlie was relieved that she was gone. Now he could go and do his job, wasn't that what Zoe actually paid him to do.
Anyway, as he was walking away, he was met by a very out of breath and rosy cheeked Robyn and Jamie. "Where on earth have you two been?" He asked them.
"Doesn't matter, all that we need to know is whether Aoife is here yet?" Jamie asked him. Charlie shook his head and walked off into a cubicle to tend to a patient.
So, Robyn and Jamie walked to their lockers and changed into their overalls for work. They then walked out of the room and came face to face with none other than a very angry, and I mean very, very, very angry Zoe Hanna.
Jamie gave her a nervous smile and Robyn looked down at her feet.
"You two, my office now!" Zoe shouted, and then she looked around. "Where's Aoife got to?"
"Well how should we know, she wouldn't answer her phone." Robyn told her as she and Jamie walked into Zoe's office for a lecture about being late.
Back at Aoife's house,
Aoife finally woke up and rubbed her head sleepily. Then, she looked where her alarm clock would usually be. 'Oh yeah.' She thought as she picked it up off the floor.
"Shit! I'm three whole hours late!" She said, jumping out of her bed and pulling off her old pyjamas. She hurriedly got dressed and then she grabbed her phone off her bedside table.
Ooooops, there were twenty six miss calls from Jamie and Robyn and another four from Noel. Ok, she was going to get slaughtered.
Aoife ran down the landing and to the top of the stair case and jumped down the top three steps.
Then, she lost her footing and slipped down the stairs, screaming. Aoife tried to put her arms out in front of her, but her wrist snapped against the wall and she carried on falling.
Aoife hit her head hard on the corner of the wall, before hitting the tiled floor beneath her. She was unconscious before she hit the floor, in a pool of her own blood.
Back at the ED, Zoe was pacing up and down in her office 'Surely Aoife couldn't have an excuse for missing half of the day.' She thought bitterly.
At least Fletch was on holiday, so she didn't have him muttering down her ear for the whole day. Charlie walked into the room then.
"So, where's Aoife, she's missed four hours of work?" He asked her, he was slightly worried about her too as he was Aoife's mentor whilst Fletch was away.
When Zoe didn't answer him, Charlie sighed and left the room.
Meanwhile, Jamie was on his break, so he had decided to go and talk to his uncle Jeff at the ambulance bay.
"Hey!" Jamie said, going to stand next to his uncle. Jeff smiled and took a sip of his coffee. "Jeff, do you think something's wrong with Aoife?" He asked
Jeff looked Jamie in the eyes and replied with "James son, I really don't know." Jamie nodded and looked up to see Dixie walking towards them.
"Ah hello Jamie, is Aoife here yet? 'Cause she was meant to be helping me and Jeff on any calls that we had today." Jamie shook his head and looked down at his feet.
"Oh, well Jeffrey dear we've got a shout, it's at number sixty four Ribbonbrooke Road." Dixie told Jeff, jumping into the passenger seat of an ambulance.
"Mind if I tag along?" Jamie asked Jeff, partly because it was next door to number sixty six where Aoife lived. "Not at all, come on." Jeff said, opening the back of the ambulance for Jamie to jump in.
Jeff then got into the driver's seat and they drove off.
In the ambulance,
"So, Dix what have we got?" Jeff asked Dixie.
"Fight between dad and his drunken son, dad then collapsed and his daughter called for an ambulance." She explained.
Within five minutes, they had arrived and Jeff and Dixie ran around to the back of the ambulance to grab their first aid kits and a stretcher.
They ran up to the house only to be greeted by a seven or eight year old girl with long blonde hair and big blue eyes. "Hello princess, where's your daddy then?" Jeff asked her kindly.
"Through here." She told him leading Jeff and Dixie into the kitchen where a boy who was about sixteen years old and drunk was sitting looking rather dazed at the table. Their dad was on the floor, struggling to breathe and clutching his chest.
Meanwhile, Jamie had run up the path to house number sixty six, where he knocked on the front door. No one answered it. He knocked again but got the same response.
So, Jamie called Aoife and heard a faint ringing from inside the house. He thought that it was strange because Aoife always had her phone with her, unless she was still asleep.
But then he wouldn't be able to hear it, would he? Anyway, Jamie walked away and ran into the house next door to help with the collapsed man and his son.
Jeff was tending to some of the man's wounds, so Jamie pulled Dixie over to talk. "Dixie, well Aoife lives next door and she didn't answer the door when I knocked it." He told her.
"Well, she could have got to the ED by now or be out with a mate like Robyn did that time." She replied.
"But I called her phone and I could hear it ringing inside. Plus, we all know that Aoife would rather die than go anywhere without her mobile."
"Fine, we'll check it out." Dixie told her, finally giving up trying to be reasonable with Jamie's mad ideas.
Jamie smiled and they helped Jeff to get the patient- Nicholas into the ambulance.
Jeff was confused when Dixie and Jamie then headed up to the house next door instead of getting back into the ambulance.
"Oi! Guys, what are you up to now!" He shouted after them.
"Just get the kids into the ambulance!" Dixie shouted back to him as she carried on walking up to the other house. Jeff just shrugged and did what he was told to do by his boss.
So he loaded Mason and Jody into the ambulance with their dad, still no last name had been given for him.
Dixie ran up to the door and knocked it but no one answered, so she called Jeff over, who seemed pleased that he didn't have to stick around with a drunk teenager and a scared little girl.
"Jeff, can you get this door open for us?" Dixie asked him. 'Ok, whatever I was expecting, it wasn't to boot open a door.' Jeff thought.
So, Jeff booted it open.
All of their eyes went wide when they saw what had happened in there. Aoife was lying, lifeless at the bottom of the stair case on a hard stone floor.
"Jamie dear, could you call for another ambulance now please." Dixie said, her voice shaking a little bit.
Jamie ran off, unable to get the terrible image of Aoife out of his head. But, he called for another ambulance and he and Dixie sent Jeff of in the other one with Nicholas, Mason and Jody.
Six minutes exactly passed until the other ambulance got there and two paramedics jumped out of it and loaded Aoife onto a stretcher and put a breathing mask on her.
In the ambulance on the way to Holby, nothing happened. No one spoke, no one moved. They were al worried.
